Funeral services

William A. Baumann, pastor of St. John’s church, officiated.
Burial was made in the Neillsville cemetery. Mrs. Carl died on
Tuesday, March 13, 1945, at her home on East Sixth street, after an
illness of about three months.

The deceased was
born Clara Matilda Louise Wieting, daughter of John and Anna
Wieting, on September 5, 1893, in Neillsville, and had spent her
entire life in this community. She lived with her parents for a
time in the town of Pine Valley, and was married there to Alfred
Carl on May 16, 1917. Mr. and Mrs. Carl lived for several years on
a farm in the town of York, and nine years ago moved to
Neillsville, where they have since resided.

Mrs. Carl was a
life long member of St. John’s Lutheran church, and
throughout her life, until the time of her recent illness, was
faithful in her attendance at the church services. She was well
liked by a large circle of friends, and will be greatly missed in
her church and in the community.

She is survived by
her husband and the following children: Victor Carl of Milwaukee;
Nelda Carl of St. Louis; Arnold Carl, who resides at home. Her
father, John Wieting, also survives, and one brother and two
sisters. The brother is Tony Wieting of Neillsville, and the
sisters are: Mrs. Erick Lueck of Christie and Mrs. Irvin Carl of
Greenwood. Her mother died on April 24, 1944, and two sisters died
in infancy.

the funeral rites were Albert Marg, Edward Marg, Albert Wagner,
Arthur Dux and Irvin Braatz. Relatives and friends from out-of-town
who were here to attend the services were: Victor Carl, Milwaukee;
Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Carl, Greenwood; Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Carl,
Nekoosa; and Miss Mildred Evenson, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The daughter, Miss
